'Houston at its best': Mayor John Whitmire praises protesters and police for peaceful No Kings event
"I just think we witnessed Houston at its best – I'll use the word ‘spectacular,'" Whitmire said in a mid-afternoon phone call. ‘For over 15,000 people to come together in a peaceful protest and march, that just makes a statement about Houston."

I'm so proud of our #50501Houston organizers and volunteers. We kicked ass today. We had amazing material support from Indivisible, AFT/AFL-CIO, Harris County Democratic Party, Party for Socialism & Liberation, and Refuse Fascism. Thanks to the many volunteer Houstonians who signed up to help make a difference!
Shout out to the Houston chapter of National Lawyers Guild for providing Legal Observers today, and Shep Boys Waste Mgmt of Cypress for a great discount and great service.
